Lust or Love? (Geoff and Gavin a.u.)

Chapter 10

*Gavin POV*

My eyes squint at the sunlight beaming through the blinds. I wipe my face with my hands and look over on the left side of the bed. The pillow is ruffled and I can faintly smell the perfume Marley was wearing last night. I swing my legs over the side of the bed and walk out of my room in my boxers. I look down the hallway into the kitchen where I can hear the sound of silverware scraping against plates. I walk into the kitchen and walk by Marley grazing my fingertips against her bare arm, welcoming the burn of lust. 

I open the refrigerator door and grab a beer. "I am gonna go to Meg's today, and staying the night. Leaving you guys alone." I wink at them and slap myself internally for being a pervert. Geoff Laughs and Marley stiffens in her seat. I notice her eyes curiously trailing down my body and my blood rushes down to my -.

"I'm gonna go hop in the shower." I say escaping from Marley's wandering eyes. 

*Marley POV*

I feel Gavin's fingers trace my arm again as he leaves the room sending shivers through my spinal cord.

"Are you going to eat the eggs?" Geoff asks me taking my plate. I shake my head and he scrapes them into his mouth. He rinses off the dishes and puts them into the dishwasher. 

"What are we doing today?" I ask Geoff when he turns to face me. He shrugs his shoulders and goes to sit on the couch, picking up a controller from the coffee table. I take a seat beside him on the love seat and he offers me a controller.

"Wanna play?" I shake my head and Gavin enters the room again fully clothed, the image of him only in his boxers remains in my brain. He nods at Geoff and I, and heads towards the door shouting 'good night'. I look around the room and Geoff turns on the Xbox, "want to watch a movie?" he suggests. 

"Yeah, what do you have?" I ask looking at him leaning my back on the arm rest. He gets up and opens up the cabinets beside his mounted TV. I stand up and scan the movies until one catches my eye; Drive Me Crazy. I laugh and pull the movie out of the slot and hand it to Geoff. "Who knew you had good taste in romantic movies?" I laugh again and sit down on the couch. He puts the movie into his Xbox and goes to the kitchen.

"Want anything to drink? There is beer, milk, whiskey, water, vodka." He leans over the couch his face close to mine and I smell the whiskey on his breath, making my mouth water. 

"Do you have any Coke?" 

"No we don't have any drugs, you druggie." He sticks his tongue out at me.

"You know what I mean you butt head." He puts his hand over his heart at my 'insult'. He hands me a can of Coke and sits next to me. "This is hands down one of my favorite romantic movies, the typical unplanned falling for each other movie." Geoff pours more whiskey into his glass and sits back after pressing play on the controller. I feel his arm wrap around me and I lean into him resting my head on his shoulder. It feels, right.

The smell of the whiskey that Geoff wears is intoxicating, calling me to his lips. I look up at Geoff, and he is already buzzed, his eye lids droopy. He gives me his best smile and I giggle, pecking him on his cheek. His eyes widen at my gesture, and I stand up with a blush forming on my cheeks.

"I'm sorry," I start, "I don't know where my head is." He stands up and pulls on my wrists, leading me back to the couch. I sit down on the other side of the love seat and look down at my hands in my lap. I feel Geoff kiss my cheek and I turn to look at him, his face is only centimeters from my own.

"I don't know where my head is either." He smiles, placing his hand on my cheek pulling me closer to his lips. I close my eyes as our lips mesh, moving together. He pulls away too soon and moves back to the other side of the couch. "Now we're even," he winks. I lick my lips and welcome the subtle burn from the whiskey residue. 

I get up from the couch and go into the kitchen and grab a whiskey glass. I sit back down at the couch and fill my glass halfway full with whiskey and pour two shots of Coke in. I look at Geoff, who is staring at me with his mouth agape. I pick up my glass and take a swig, not breaking eye contact. He claps his hands and I laugh. "I know I don't have any friends, but I did go to parties." I stick my tongue out at him.

"You do too have friends!" He says putting his hand over his heart again. "Gavin and I are your friends, Marley." He says putting his hand on my knee. 

"Yeah, yeah I know." I put my hand over his. We stare at each other for a few minutes of silence with only the sound of the TV, playing the movie we were supposed to be watching, in the background. My stomach grumbles breaking the long silence and Geoff smiles and nods, fighting laughter.

"Would you like something to eat?" He asks standing up.

"Pizza!" I practically yell in the spacious area. He disappears into his room and comes back with his laptop. He sits down beside me and I pull the laptop from his lap.

"Hey! What are you doing?" He laughs reaching for the laptop. I slap his hands away and run to the bathroom grabbing my purse. I lock the door and put the laptop on the counter. I log on to the Papa John's website.

"Marley! What are you doing?!" Geoff pounds on the door. I quickly order a large pepperoni pizza and type in my card number.

"You can have your laptop back when you tell me the address!" I yell through the wooden door. Geoff laughs and tells me the address. I type it in and then unlock the door, "You bought dinner last night so I bought lunch." I stick my tongue out at him.

"You better stop sticking your tongue out at me or I am gonna bite it." He jokes. I laugh and hand him the laptop. He takes my hand and pulls me to the living room. He sets the laptop on the table and places his hands on my hips pulling my body to his. He looks down at me and kisses my cheek before kissing my lips. Letting his lips linger over mine before pulling away. 

"What are we doing?" I ask, my head on his chest as we sway back in forth; dancing to no sound. I feel his chest rise and fall, his heart is pounding fast and mine beats with his.

"I don't know, but I don't want it to end."
